Thanks Carl & Maximilian for this help. I've got it going now. At the moment I don't see all the advantages of it for this project but I'm getting used to the git commands and conventions at least. It's a big lilypond-book project so it has tons of extra files that get created when I compile and I'm not sure if I want git tracking all those or not. It seems unnecessary to track anything but the source code files. After I compile, though, and then do "git status" I get an enormous number of untracked files created since the last commit. I just go through and add the ones I want tracked, commit them and I'm done I guess. Thanks for the help with git. I appreciate it and I'm guessing this thread will be helpful for other noobs in the future. :)On 2/19/09 9:53 AM, "Jonathan Kulp" <address@hidden> wrote:This sounds really useful. I'd like to try to get comfortable with git on a project of my own, something that doesn't have an online repo. How do I create a local git version of a directory on my machine? I tried creating a new directory to house the new git repo and then doing git-clone ~/Documents/DirectoryName/You don't have a git repository of your stuff, so you can't clone the repository. The way I do it is to change to ~/Documents/DirectoryName/ and type git init which will create an empty repository in the current directory. Then you add your files to the repository by typing git add * which adds all the files to the staging area, followed by git commit which commits them to the repository. And now you're off and running! Good luck, Carl
